Planning for Filming Performance: 4/3/17

The camera set up will consist of two cameras: one at the back of the venue on a tripod that will film the song 'Skin Tight', as well as another camera that will use not only the tripod, but also will utilise this camera to do a number of handheld shots. During other songs in the performance me, Georgia and Danielle will all film a number of handheld shots on the stage and from the crowd in order to meet the conventions of the indie genre.

We contacted the venue in order to ensure that filming was permitted for us. We ensured that we would be able to use our equipment and it was permitted by the venue and audience members for us to film at the performance and then utilise elements of these shots in our final product.

Filming 25/1/17: Narrative

On 25/1/17, we re-arranged to film with the male and female 'actors' for our music video. Due to difficulties with schedule, we had to change the male actor and instead Calum played the role within the video. We began filming around 2pm and manage to film the entirety of the narrative, using two cameras in order to capture a range of images from a number of angles. 

Me. Danielle and Georgia all took on our roles of the camera we were using, the angle we would shoot from etc. This enabled for us to all play a role within the production of the video, as well as allowing us to all share a different perspective on what worked and what didn't. 

We filmed a number of clips in order to ensure that we had enough footage to work with during post production. This is something I have learnt from my Foundation Portfolio, as it is a necessity to do this in order to not restrict yourself to a limited number of clips which will limit the opportunity for experimentation of editing. 

I took on the role of filming one of the angles. Considering we used two cameras, in each scene I filmed from a different angle to Danielle such as in the argument scene. This enabled for a wide range of footage to choose from.

During our filming session we all took on a role; I took part in using one of the cameras to get a differing angle to the one filmed on the other camera. As mentioned, this allowed for a range of shot types to experiment with.
